Ready, set, test: Try the new AdGuard for Windows v8.0 beta
The wait is almost over. After a period of intense testing in our nightly channel, we’re glad to invite you to the next major step: AdGuard for Windows v8.0 beta 1 is now available for everyone to try!
Before we go any further, we want to say a big thank you to all our nightly testers. Your feedback and bug reports have been incredibly valuable! Thanks to your help, AdGuard for Windows v8.0 is now almost ready for full release.
What’s new in v8.0
Instead of packing in a dozen new features, we dedicated ourselves to perfecting the core of AdGuard. The goal was to give the app better speed, stability, and simplicity.
Here’s what you’ll notice from the moment you start using the beta:
- Faster startup: AdGuard now launches almost instantly, so it’s ready to protect you right when you need it.
- More reliable filtering: We’ve improved how AdGuard processes requests to ensure consistent, uninterrupted protection against ads and trackers.
- Quiet performance: AdGuard v8.0 works efficiently in the background, letting you focus on what matters — whether you’re working, gaming, or just browsing.
That’s not all — we’ve made other improvements, including enhancements in the Statistics and App management sections. If you’re curious about the details, you can read about them in our nightly blog post and in the version history.
